Cost is obviously influenced by size, finish level and complexity. But with our flex office fit out solutions, investing in future-proof infrastructure, adaptive layouts and user-centric design can deliver long-term value (e.g., higher attendance, better occupant experience, lower churn). As the Spaces to Places research shows, 71% of occupiers would increase attendance for ideal conditions.
In today’s evolving office workplace landscape, businesses need more than just desks and meeting rooms – they need adaptable environments that support hybrid working, collaboration and employee well-being.
At DBSJ, our flex office fit outs transform under-utilised spaces into high‐performing, future-proof workplaces. Thanks to our deep experience in delivering flex office design for leading serviced-office providers, large landlords and occupiers across the UK, we understand the importance of brand and the integrity and consistency for how this is delivered and protected. We design with the user, the business and the investor in mind – ensuring your workspace supports performance, attendance and retention. With our integrated service offering (design, build, shopfit and joinery) we offer better control of quality, cost and schedule. Whether you’re looking for a complete re-fit or an upgrade with flexible zones, we specialise in flexible office design that meets the demands of modern work and employee satisfaction.
Looking for a new flex office fit out provider?
With customer experience at the core, DBSJ has always designed flex office workspaces that sit between home and the traditional office – true ‘third spaces’ – that bring together advanced tech infrastructure, private spaces and wellness features. Our hospitality-led mindset inspires us to create environments where people connect, collaborate and thrive. We are committed to delivering environments that are not just built quickly, but built with purpose – supporting collaboration, wellness and choice.
DBSJ are a fantastic team of high-quality individuals who have merged their skillset into a personable project machine under fantastic leadership. They continue to push the boundaries of flex office fit outs.
We’re leading this shift, recognising that a one-size-fits-all solution no longer works. The most recent Spaces to Places report found that 71% of occupiers would increase attendance for ideal conditions and 66% are open to longer commitments for superior experiences, the path to long-term success lies in designing exceptional, experience-led workplaces. That’s exactly what we deliver. We’ve got a track record of creating office fit outs across varied sectors, sizes and complexities – from multi-centre roll-outs to bespoke flagship schemes.
Exceptional experience
Flex office insights and planning are essential to shaping spaces that respond to people’s real needs
Every project begins with understanding how your workspace is used, by whom, the frequency of occupancy and for what purpose. This ensures our flex office design is not generic, but aligned to your culture, operational rhythm and business goals. Using behavioural insights and decades of flex office experiences, we analyse user groups and working patterns to create environments built around real-life needs – not assumptions.
Designing an office calls for true expertise to create flexible workspaces that prioritise the user experience above all else
Our flex office design philosophy blends adaptability with hospitality-driven experience. From open collaboration zones to private focus booths, wellness spaces and hybrid-enabled meeting hubs, we create flexible environments that can evolve with your organisation. With our flex office fit out solutions, the workspace becomes a place people want to be – supporting productivity, comfort and connection.
In flex office environments, the real value emerges when the build and delivery phases are connected to an ongoing evolution that keeps the workplace relevant and resilient
With integrated design, build, joinery and shop-fit capabilities, DBSJ delivers seamless flex office fit outs from concept to completion. We manage every stage – including M&E, finishes, furniture and infrastructure – to minimise disruption and ensure performance from day one.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on size, scope and complexity. We work with you to create realistic timelines and ensure minimal business disruption.
A standard refurbishment may simply refresh finishes or furniture. A flexible office design anticipates change: it designs zoning, infrastructure and layout to allow for multiple configurations, hybrid use and future growth without requiring major re-works.
We build flexibility into the core: modular furniture, adaptable partitions, infrastructure designed for change and a layout philosophy that anticipates evolving working patterns. Plus, we provide guidance and support post-occupancy so the space evolves with you.
